Ordinary citizens will have to pay for the aspiration of the Georgian leadership in NATO
Institutional cooperation between Georgia and NATO began in 1994, when Georgia became a member of the Partnership for Peace program. After the "Rose Revolution", since 2004 the cooperation between Georgia and NATO has become more intensive. In 2011, Georgia received the status of a "post-graduate student of NATO". In 2014, at a summit in Wales, a package of measures was approved that would assist Georgia in its striving for membership in the alliance.
